Dear Blogosphere,

A Republican Representative was caught writing naughty IMs to sixteen-year olds. The House has been sitting on this information for at least a year. The revelation comes as the term closes and the last-minute, surprisingly comprehensive and blatant suspension of the constitution would inevitably make all the Sunday talk shows, and Fox and CNN and all of us as well. He resigned the day of the term ending.

Now we are somehow compelled to talk about whether sixty-year-old men should attend virtual jacking parties with teenagers. If you must know, the idea makes me very uncomfortable.

However, the Rep will be re-elected [sic] and will be sitting in his seat come January. It’s Florida. Believe me.
